Historically, the group has used emails to plan the trip, but this means there are literally hundreds of emails – some with key information, some with comments about this information, but many others that are simply friends socializing. It’s overwhelming to simply keep them all, let alone find the one which has the information you are looking for when it comes to making decisions. I can’t tell you how often we re-send information because someone can’t find it. This year, one of our group changed jobs (changing her email address) and lost all the information we had shared. This class got me thinking that there had to be a better way to house the information so it is easier to store the information and more easily find exactly what you are looking for.
